Question

A rectangle has a width of 6 inches and a perimeter of 26 inches. What is the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2L+2W

Perimeter = 26

W = 6

Plug these in: 26=2L + 2*6 ; 26 = 2L + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides.

26-12 = 2L +12 -12 ; 14 = 2L

Devide by 2

14/2 = 2L/2

L=7
